T
he Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the international multi-stakeholder organization for sustainable palm oil, has signed a service and license agreement with Accreditation Services International (ASI) to manage and implement their accreditation program.
There are currently 19 CBs (certification bodies) approved by the RSPO comprising 12 CBs for P&C (principles and criteria) certification for growers and 14 for supply chain certification. RSPO secretary-general Darrel Webber said in a release from Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.
Existing RSPO approved CBs for both growers’ certification and supply-chain certification will be given one year to complete the accreditation process while new CBs have to comply with the accreditation requirements immediately.
According to Webber, ASI is an established accreditation body with a track record of its services for other international multi stakeholder initiatives such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).
